Inspiration: A Beach Cottage

I told you I'm somewhat obsessed with beachy/cottagey styles.  Last time I showed you an all-white super comfortable home in Australia that I love, but there's another house that I've spent a lot of time studying that's a completely different take on the same theme.  This home in California is chock full of color and pattern, via House Beautiful.

A view of the living room.  Tons of color, but it doesn't seem overwhelming because of plenty of white.

Look at how many different patterns can mix together so well.  I wouldn't necessarily want this many competing patterns in my own home, but I enjoy the way it looks here.  I love love love the polka dot ottomans.

A pink kitchen!!  A pink fridge!!  

I want that red scalloped kitchen light and wonder where it's from.
